    And you were at home, or in an arena seat, screaming robbery.

    As a companion to my other thread.

    When, in boxing, has a fight gone to a decision that the boxing public as a large and decisive whole seemed to embrace and call correct, when you yourself were convinced the proclaimed "rightful loser" won the fight?

    An example is not Hagler-Leonard, with a consensus divided down the middle.

    An example would be the vocal minority claiming Spinks outboxed Taylor, or even more extreme for a hypothetical example, thinking Trinidad outworked Wright(Just an example...Even if you think this, I'd advise you not post that you have this opinion. Ever.)

    Well? Tell us what fights you thought ended as a robbery, and give us your argument why the popular winner shouldnt have in fact won that night.

    HHHHmmmmm....I can't remember if it was controversial or not, but I agreed with 1 of the 3 judges in the Mancini vs Camacho fight and had Mancini winning 116-112, and see no way camacho did enough to win these rounds, as I didn't see how it was that debatable...still don't??? I just don't remember what the general consensus was/is????

    Mike Jones v. Jesus Soto Karass I

    I thought Jones got his ass kicked.

    Most people did Addie.

    I thought Jason Booth edged Steve Molitor, but I am a massive Booth fan.

    I thought froch beat kessler.

    But the main standout one, I thought hopkins comfortably outboxed holt! Don't anymore but at the time I cried robbery!
